There are many States delivering SNAP payments to EBT cards on the very first day in February. However, some of them will continue issuing payments for days or weeks. This will mean that some Food Stamp recipients will have to wait longer.
On the contrary, some States will only issue SNAP benefits on February 1, 2025. Therefore, all eligible beneficiaries will receive the money they are entitled to in over a week. The thing is Alaska will send the largest Food Stamp checks in February 2025, so some recipients could get more than $1,756, which is the maximum amount in the 48 contiguous States and the District of Columbia.
SNAP payments due on February 1, 2025
According to USDA’s payment schedule, there are 32 States that will either send all the SNAP checks on February 1 or will start on that same payment date. Thus, you can check your EBT on the first if you live in Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, or North Dakota because these States will issue all the payments on that day.
